Seven Dispensations - Prophets of Conscience

Seven Dispensations — Prophets of Conscience Scripture: Genesis 3:6 – 6:8; Jude 14-15; Hebrews 11:1-7 Continuing the series on the seven dispensations, this message takes up the dispensation of conscience — the time from the fall of Adam to the flood of Noah — and the three prophets God raised up in it. Pastor Hill begins with a warning about the appetite for the sensational. The more extraordinary a claim, the more it ought to be tried by the Scripture: "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God" (1 John 4:1), and "Prove all things; hold fast that which is good" (1 Thessalonians 5:21). A Christian goes back to the Book to settle what he believes. From Genesis 3 the message traces where the conscience came from — man knowing he was guilty the moment he knew good from evil — and why there was no need of a prophet until sin entered the world. ABEL (Genesis 4) — the first prophet in the Bible, of whom not one spoken word is recorded, yet whom the Lord Jesus named among the prophets (Luke 11:50-51). His preaching was his life, and at the last his blood, which cried unto God from the ground. He brought the sacrifice God required; Cain brought the labour of his own hands, and it was not respected. ENOCH (Genesis 5:22-24) — who walked with God three hundred years and was translated that he should not see death. His one recorded sermon is a warning of judgment: "Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, to execute judgment upon all" (Jude 14-15). NOAH (Genesis 6:5-8) — who found grace in the eyes of the Lord, believed God's word, prepared the ark, and preached righteousness while he built it (2 Peter 2:5), to the saving of his house. All three are named together in the eleventh of Hebrews, and their lives carry the same marks: they believed God and followed His word, they walked with Him, and they stood against the sin of their day. Also in this service: the hymns "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God," "Be Thou My Vision," and "God Leads His Dear Children Along"; a scripture song from Proverbs 3:5-7; and special music by Madison.
